“We know that when you play against someone 2.20m tall, who is exceptional to watch, you have to score from 3 points.
Too bad we didn't have more success in the first half on open 3-point shots, regretted the Nancy coach with our colleagues from the East Republican.
We gave them confidence and we ran after the score.
As for Victor Wembanyama, we limited him because he is at 9/19 but he tries 16 shots, that's too much… But this player is a treat.
What a beautiful player, what a beautiful attitude!
